I built a 6BR LV on a haverkamp action,Edge stock(got from mcmillian,Special order). Pac nor 13.75twist(fluted for weight).
so i piller beded it useing havekamps aluminium pillers,and pro bed 2K(witch i do not like)..
had a very nice job done,looks great,seems great..inital testing swowed the rifle wanted to shoot with some low .200 groups in the wind and bordering in the high .100..so some more tuneing and shooting, a shot off here and there i kind of felt i might have a bedding issue..so some investigation showed that no mater how well i bedded it, several times....that a could put some stress on the action when tighting the rear screw..it would seem that shrinkage,seepage,flow or what ever would happen that the rear tang area was a issue..so i said im going to glue it in with JB weld. so rebeded then scuff it up . now here is where it gets weird..i checked the stock over,,seemes good..i hoged out so i could easely get the trigger in from the bottom..i leveled the bottom of the stock..in all directions,put my kelbys rail on my action and leveled the action in the stock..so the bottom of the stock that rides in the bag is level,and the action is level with that.. but it is not level with the top of the stock at all..the barrel is pointed up or the rear of the action is tilted back..but trust me the bottom of the stock is level, in the rest..and straight..all sides.. but it seems the top of the stock is slanted..can even put a level on the sides of the top of the stock and if it was level it would be about the center of the barrel..but because its not makes it look like the barrel is running up hill..I dont know looks a bit weird but im going to shoot it like that and see how it does..well anyhow my nice job is kind of all juked up and bordering on rat chewed.
its kind of been too cold to shoot, but i will fire some next weekend no mater how cold.
